Why do people feel the need to be known?
What is it that drives them to extremes?
For some it doesn't matter
what they're known for.
Just to be known.
noticed.
recognized.
At least for once in their life.
They strive to be known.
More than any other need in life.
They could be poorer than poor.
It wouldn't bother them.
They could be a wretch.

anything.
But to live life unknown
is to never have lived.
For you don't exist until someone else

is if I died
and no one knew.
Imagine being dead
and no one knowing...ever.
To live alone...to die alone.
